Fun with Fractions: Eggsactly with a Dozen Eggs Lesson 1
demonstrate understanding that a fraction can be represented as part of a set, given a set of identical items (eggs)
identify fractions when the whole (set) and part of the set is given
identify fraction relationships associated with the set, such as one fourth is one half of one half
Modifications to Lesson: Use plastic eggs and egg cartons and have the students work in groups to solve the problems.
Other Information: This is a great way to introduce fractions to students.

The game “Cookies for Grampy” students will put pieces of a “cookies” to make one for Grampy. The students will be able to put different pieces to make a whole. I would suggest using this to help the children develop concepts of how to make a whole.

Bowling for Fractions Click on hyperlink http://www.hbschool.com/activity/bowling_for_fractions/ Click on the squares that you want to shade in. Type in the numerator (the number you shaded). Type in the denominator (the number you have in all). Click on check to see if your problem is correct (for every correct problem you will receive a bowling pin). You get two chances to get the problem correct. Click on the arrow to get the next problem. At the end, a ball will knock down your pins. You may continue to play until time is up
This is a great math game to let your students play in small group math. It is very good to use while trying to teach the fraction concept and right before testing. I recommend for grades 2-5 and for students in Tier 2 and 3 groups.

Cross the River by Identifying Simple Fractions
Link to the website: http://www.hbschool.com/activity/cross_the_river/
Once simple fractions have been introduced and students are ready to practice independently they will enjoy "Crossing the River". When the student answers the fraction correctly the character jumps to the next rock. If the fraction is answered incorrectly the character will fall in the water then get back up on the rock it fell off of.
simple fractions - independent practice - 4th grade

Guide the Gecko
For a fun enrichment activity for equivalent fractions, go to mathplayground.com and click "Guide the Gecko." The students will guide the gecko through a path by finding the equivalent fractions to equal the given amount needed. For example, it may ask the for 4 equal fractions that equal one meter. This activity would be great for students who have a clear understanding of fractions, as well as reducing to lowest form.
